Relationships between college settings and student alcohol use before, during and after events: a multi‐level study

PASCHALL, MALLIE J., SALTZ, ROBERT F.·2007·Drug and Alcohol Review

Abstract

Introduction and Aims. We examined how alcohol risk is distributed based on college students' drinking before, during and after they go to certain settings. Design and Methods. Students attending 14 California public universities (N = 10 152) completed a web‐based or mailed survey in the fall 2003 semester, which included questions about how many drinks they consumed before, during and after the last time they went to six settings/events: fraternity or sorority party, residence hall party, campus event (e.g. football game), off‐campus party, bar/restaurant and outdoor setting (referent). Multi‐level analyses were conducted in hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to examine relationships between type of setting and level of alcohol use before, during and after going to the setting, and possible age and gender differences in these relationships. Drinking episodes (N = 24 207) were level 1 units, students were level 2 units and colleges were level 3 units. Results. The highest drinking levels were observed during all settings/events except campus events, with the highest number of drinks being consumed at off‐campus parties, followed by residence hall and fraternity/sorority parties. The number of drinks consumed before a fraternity/sorority party was higher than other settings/events. Age group and gender differences in relationships between type of setting/event and ‘before,’ ‘during’ and ‘after’ drinking levels also were observed. For example, going to a bar/restaurant (relative to an outdoor setting) was positively associated with ‘during’ drinks among students of legal drinking age while no relationship was observed for underage students. Discussion and Conclusions. Findings of this study indicate differences in the extent to which college settings are associated with student drinking levels before, during and after related events, and may have implications for intervention strategies targeting different types of settings.

  • Paschall and Saltz (2007) confirmed students consumed more alcohol at fraternity/sorority parties than all other contexts, with the comparable exception of off-campus parties.

    “Paschall and Saltz (2007), using a random sample of undergraduate students (n = 10,152) attending 14 California public universities, confirmed students consumed more alcohol at fraternity/sorority parties than all other contexts, with the comparable exception of off-campus parties.”
  • Paschall and Saltz (2007) found attendees of fraternity/sorority parties consumed the highest number of drinks consumed before the event.

    “The researchers also found attendees of fraternity/sorority parties consumed the highest number of drinks consumed before the event in comparison with attendees of house parties, campus events, off-campus parties, bars/restaurants, and outdoor events.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
